[edit] Summary

• 1965 American Motors (AMC) Cavalier Show Car
• Source: AMC's Public Relations Department news release.
• The image was freely provided to promote an item.

[edit] Licensing

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit. The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion. It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate: the person(s), product, event, or subject in question where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos. Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

This media was proposed for deletion as a replaceable non-free content. The result was to Keep the image, as no adequate free-licensed image exists or can be created to fulfill the limited role performed by this image at the time deletion was considered. However, this image may be replaceable by free images in other contexts, and in such cases the free image must take precedence. A discussion of this decision may exist on the image talk page.

[edit] Fair use rationale in the AMC Cavalier article

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, the image is used under "fair use" because:

1. It is a historically significant photo of a 1965 show car that no longer exists (concept cars were routinely destroyed soon after they were shown to the public).
2. There is no "free" equivalent of an actual factory studio shot showing the 1965 AMC Cavalier show car.
3. This has been previously published.
4. The name of the photographer/artist is unknown.
5. It is of lower resolution than the original, so it will not detract from the value of any original image.
6. The image is only being used for informational purposes.
7. The material is encyclopedic and otherwise meets general Wikipedia content requirements.
8. This meets the media-specific policy requirements.
9. The image is used in at least one article.
10. The material contributes to the article (AMC Cavalier) by specifically illustrating the text about this concept car.
11. The image does not detract from the reputation of the subject.
